Damn, you were krazy! With that Trace: try muddling half a (highest quality) lemon that is quartered up, along with 4-5 mint leaves, pour some of the hooch in, and sweeten with some simple syrup (you can make some at home with the sugar you have, try 1:1, will last at least a couple of weeks in fridge, probably a lot longer, or if you're lazy, I guess you can throw some powder/confectioner's instead).
Shake with ice, pour over fresh ice straining out the stuff.
Last time I was making that, the friend I was making them for told me I couldn't make them fast enough, and he was telling the truth, he was drinking them faster than I could make them. Dangerously delicious: The Whisky Smash.
Optional garnish, a simple mint sprig. "Slap" the sprig on your open hand, and the bouquet just totally blows up. Nestle it into drink.
